MOCK APPLE PIE

_mock apple pie._  A pie made with cheese-flavored Ritz racks (introduced by the National Biscuit Company in 1933) and spices to resemble the taste of apple pie.  The recipe first appeared during the Depression, when apples became a costly item.
--John Mariani, ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOOD AND DRINK (1999).

   This doesn't make sense.  In the Depression, apples were the only things people COULD afford to eat.
   Way off.

ay back in the 20th century, most folks kept the contents of their diaries barricaded behind lock and key.

No more.

Now a multitude of meditations - personal, political or just plain peculiar - float in cyberspace for all the world to see. Online diaries (also known as "Web logs," "weblogs" and "blogs") have proliferated at warp speed since they first sprang up in the late 1990s. In less than five years, the number of blogs exploded from just a handful to more than 200,000, according to Rebecca Blood, author of "The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice on Creating and Maintaining Your Blog." (Perseus Publishing, 2002).
